Aaron takes Autumn out to see her very first play. When leaving the theater, they discover their runabouts have been stolen. It takes longer then normal to find a cab and when they do the driver refuses to transport Aaron. Later, after teleporting to the Nightman's Arms, Aaron gets in a poker game with Fitzbeth and Hardesty, the captain of the ship he will be traveling on. Back in Jutland, Patton agrees to remain with Autumn as her protector. He insists Aaron has one more lesson in self defence. Missy, Patton, and Aaron hit the mats where Aaron gets the crap kicked out of him by Missy due to his hesitation to fight a woman. Disgusted, Missy chases Patton away, strips to her waist to distract Aarn, then kicks him around the mat until Aaron has to fight back. During the struggle the make-up Aaron uses to hide the mark of Heralda's kiss is smudged. Missy is intrigued and askes if he is the Chosen one Heralda has mentioned in her sermons. Aaron lies.
